(KNOX) – With flooding challenges throughout the Lake Region… including thousands of farm acres still under water… Devils Lake’s east and west end outlets will be running at maximum allowable capacity… starting May 1.
Jeff Frith, Devils Lake Basin Joint Water Board Manager…says “the longer the pumping season, the better opportunity we have to pro-GRESS toward lowering the lake.”
The lake’s elevation was 1,449.4 feet as of April 18, and is expected to stay at approximately that level through the year.
At maximum capacity, the Devils Lake outlets can discharge a combined 600 cubic feet per second (cfs), with 250 cfs from the west end and 350 cfs from the east end.
